Trump's 'crazed rantings throughout the night' spur skewering from ex-GOP congressman

MS NOW's Joe Scarborough marveled at President Donald Trump's all-night posting sprees, where he amplifies conspiracy theories, attacks his enemies and celebrates himself as the nation sleeps.

The Wall Street Journal this week catalogued 44 flurries of a dozen or more Truth Social posts published between 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. since the 79-year-old Trump returned to the White House, and the "Morning Joe" host expressed alarm about what those posts revealed about the president's mental state.

"So these these tweets overnight, and again, we laugh about them, everybody laughs about them – there's nothing to laugh about," Scarborough said. "I mean, it's just unspooled crazed paranoia. You you look at him accusing Barack Obama of a coup, Hillary, I mean, you just go through it. It was just crazed, crazed rantings throughout the night."

"Yeah," agreed co-host Jonathan Lemire, "we have long said the best window into how President Trump is actually feeling are the the late-night social media posts, and this is the third or fourth time in the last couple of weeks where he's done one of these."

Scarborough asked Lemire what others in the White House, especially chief of staff Susie Wiles, thought about the posts.

"She doesn't do anything on the phone, she says that she's responsible for Trump's social media content," Lemire said. "At least, she has a not reliable, but she has the minder of him and was in the mornings and Dan Scavino is at night. But the overnight sessions, that's just him. He's alone. But being that he's unstaffed, so therefore in the middle of the night, if he's not sleeping or if he's watching television, whatever it is, he delves into this and it's conspiracy theories, and so much of it is just AI slop and just junk. He's just reiterating whatever he sees in his feed."
